this whole post is great but the last line KNOCKED ME OUT
@carithlee its true though. Trans people wouldn't exist in fantasy. At least not for long. They'd just use magic to switch genders and life their life.
@SnapHappyFox @carithlee Or high-tech science fiction - see John Varley's Ohpiuchi Hotline series and his reboot starting with Steel Beach, where complete functional gender changing is a half-day outpatient procedure.
@resuna @SnapHappyFox @carithlee Or Iain Banks' Culture, where most people are equipped to change sexes at will, even while pregnant!
